Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 363: Making Money with the Country

Lu Shaohua stayed, while the others left in the car, including Zeng Jianguo. Zeng Jianguo originally wanted to stay and talk to Deng Lao about something, but Deng Lao had already signaled him with his eyes that he didn't need to say anything, as if he knew what he was going to say next. In the end, Zeng Jianguo simply didn't stay and left with the group.

After everyone left, Deng Lao hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Xiaohua, I asked you to stay because I have something to discuss with you. Of course, I also have selfish motives. Your grandmother and I are the only ones living in this house. It's lonely."

Lu Shaohua smiled and knew that Deng Lao must have kept him here for some serious matter, and chatting with him was just a coincidence. He rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Grandpa Deng wants to talk about the problems in Hong Kong, right?"

Deng nodded and said, "I guessed part of it right. In the morning, Lao Zeng called me to talk about the missile issue, and later he mentioned the Hong Kong issue. It seems that you have some tricks to deal with it."

"It's not that they have any clever tricks, just some small tricks." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused and continued, "Some businessmen in Hong Kong are still looking forward to the return, but some are very worried."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua seemed to give Deng Elder time to react, and then continued, "I am worried about those people who are worried. If there are any rumors, those people will definitely waver. If those people waver and take all their assets in Hong Kong with them and leave Hong Kong with their families, it will cause some losses to Hong Kong's economy."

Lu Shaohua's words were very tactful. He did not mean a little loss, but that there would definitely be losses. Maybe it would not be a big deal for one or two people, but if most people left Hong Kong with their families, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Hong Kong's economy.

"Ah!" Deng Lao sighed, then stopped and said, "You don't have to be so tactful. The country has already anticipated some things. In addition to inviting your Chinese Chamber of Commerce to Beijing to attract investment, we also want to see if there is any way to prevent possible events."

"It's difficult." Lu Shaohua shook his head and said, "If there is a way, the best we can do is to rely on the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to give those businessmen some guarantees, so that they will not blindly take their businesses away from Hong Kong, but choose to wait and see. Of course, there is a prerequisite for them to believe in the Chamber of Commerce's guarantees."

"What's the premise?" asked Mr. Deng.

"We will cooperate to suppress the rumors." Lu Shaohua said simply.

“Well, rumors will definitely be suppressed, but whether it will be effective is still an unknown.” At this point, Mr. Deng’s tone became much heavier, with worry in his eyes.

"It will definitely have an effect." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "This situation is no longer under human control. What we need to do is to minimize the losses."

"Yes." Elder Deng nodded, exhaled, glanced at Lu Shaohua, and said, "Your Phoenix Group is very influential in Hong Kong, and you are also a director of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. You must help with this matter. Well, even if it's for grandpa's sake."

The return of Hong Kong as scheduled was the result of the old man's efforts from all sides. It was the old man's hard work. As the old man's grandson, how could Lu Shaohua just sit there and do nothing?

"Don't worry, grandpa, I will do my best." Lu Shaohua made the promise.

"Alas! I am old now. It has always been my wish to see Hong Kong's return, but I know that is impossible. So in my lifetime, I don't want to see any changes in Hong Kong." Mr. Deng's tone became heavier as he spoke.

Lu Shaohua, a reborn person, naturally knew how long Mr. Deng could live. It was indeed Mr. Deng's wish not to see the return of Hong Kong with his own eyes. However, God is always cruel, and the old man could not see the moment of Hong Kong's return with his own eyes.

"Grandpa, you will see." Lu Shaohua's words lacked confidence, but what else could he say? He could only use this method to comfort the old man.

"Okay, let's not talk about those sad questions." Deng Lao waved his hand, and it was obvious that he wanted to change the subject. "The British pound was blocked not long ago. You had a share of it, right?"

Lu Shaohua and the old man looked at each other and shook their heads. "I have no part in this."

"Is it true?" Old Deng didn't believe it and stared at Lu Shaohua and asked.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua scratched his head awkwardly, knowing that he could no longer hide the matter, and said weakly, "I participated, oh, just a small part, just a small part."

There was a hint of guilt in Lu Shaohua's words, which anyone could hear, let alone a shrewd man like Old Deng, who could hear it even more clearly. However, the small part that Lu Shaohua said was simply ignored by the old man, who thought it was modesty.

"I don't think it's necessarily a small portion." Mr. Deng asked in a questioning tone.

"Oh my! Nothing can be hidden from you, old man." Lu Shaohua sighed again, and then said, "I invested 30 billion US dollars and earned nearly 40 billion US dollars."

"Humph!" Deng Lao snorted and then said with a smile, "I knew you were not honest and always put eye drops in my eyes."

"How dare I?" Lu Shaohua quickly shook his head.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" Deng Lao glanced at Lu Shaohua unhappily, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Our country is very poor now, and there are too many places that need money. If you want to make money from others in the future, remember to notify me."

"What do you mean by others?" No matter how dumb Lu Shaohua was, he could understand that this others meant other people, and that outsiders mentioned by Deng Lao were foreigners.

After a moment's silence, Lu Shaohua said in an uncertain tone, "This kind of thing doesn't always happen, but..."

Lu Shaohua stopped talking halfway, deliberately teasing the old man's appetite, and when the old man became a little impatient, Lu Shaohua continued with a smile. "But according to the current international situation, well, I'm just guessing, I think there will be another opportunity soon."

Lu Shaohua emphasized that it was his guess, but was it really his guess? No one knew this, only Lu Shaohua himself knew it, but he would not tell it, after all, rebirth was his biggest secret, and he didn't even tell his family.

"Don't fool me. I know that Liu Mingzhang in your financial company is no ordinary person. He must have smelled something fishy, ​​right?" Old Deng said without any politeness.

"That's not true." Lu Shaohua shook his head to deny it. What a joke! If Liu Mingzhang was a figure, it was because he was under the wise leadership of Lu Shaohua. Otherwise, there would be no Liu Mingzhang today.

"Oh! You got angry just because I praised you a few times. Hurry up and tell them. Let the people in the country prepare it, and then we will share the cake with you." Mr. Deng didn't believe that Lu Shaohua was guessing. Whatever came out of his mouth was 100% true.

Lu Shaohua regretted it now. He regretted that he shouldn't have mentioned this matter in front of the old man. Now it was like shooting himself in the foot. It would be bad if he didn't say it. If he did say it, the secret would be leaked, which would be difficult to deal with in the future.

"Grandpa! You can't talk about things like this casually. Oh, it's not that I don't believe you, but confidentiality is crucial. If you are not careful, you will lose an opportunity to make money." Lu Shaohua adjusted his tone quickly, and now everything he said was serious. At the same time, there was a bit of pleading in his eyes, hoping that the old man would not ask any more questions.

Elder Deng also saw the embarrassment in Lu Shaohua's eyes, he exhaled, turned into a smile, and said, "Okay, I won't ask you, but you have to give me some promises"

"Don't worry, I will inform you when the time comes." Lu Shaohua interrupted the old man and made a promise.

"That's better." Old Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lu Shaohua would not agree.

But just as Mr. Deng breathed a sigh of relief, he brought it up again because Lu Shaohua spoke again.

"But!" Lu Shaohua said in a serious tone, "You can go with me to divide the cake, but I have to tell you that you must obey my orders, otherwise, forget it."

Are you kidding? The stock market is changing every minute, and the funds gathered by the country are definitely not for small-scale operations. If you don't listen to his orders, it may affect the overall situation, so Lu Shaohua had to emphasize this point.

It's not that Elder Deng didn't understand the key point. Seeing Lu Shaohua's serious request, he naturally understood it. "That's no problem."

"That's good." Lu Shaohua also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling indescribably proud in his heart. In just a few words between him and the old man, he decided on something, something that would make money for the country. Even though Lu Shaohua was a reborn person, he couldn't help but feel proud.

However, the pride did not last long as Lu Shaohua suppressed it completely and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Lu Shaohua raised his head, glanced at the old man, and said with a smile, "The country is poor now and really needs money. Oh, I have a good money-making project here. I wonder if you are interested."

Yes, Lu Shaohua has a money-making project to offer to the country. As the saying goes, good people should do their best and give gifts to the Buddha. He has traded his long-range missiles with the country, so providing a money-making project to the country is also a bonus.

"Oh. Tell me about it." Mr. Deng said with interest.

"Well, I wonder if you have noticed an American named Soros?" Lu Shaohua asked.

"Soros?" Deng Lao frowned, then asked tentatively. "Is it Soros who was behind the Japanese stock market crash and the current attack on the British pound?"

Lu Shaohua nodded and confirmed. "It's him."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "In fact, I have been doing business with him over the years. If the country is interested, we can send some people to invest with him. I believe we can make a lot of money."

"Oh! I don't understand these." Deng Lao shook his head and said, "How about this, I'll find someone who knows about this tomorrow, and then you can tell them what to do."

What else could Lu Shaohua say? He was the one who took the lead in this matter, so he naturally couldn't give up halfway, so he could only reluctantly agree to it.
